"I just want to say to all my family, friends, and fans that I am 110 percent, 200 percent innocent," Peterson said outside the courtroom on Friday morning. "I didn't push, shove, or touch anyone that night, especially an officer."

The Vikings running back allegedly pushed one of the officers when asked for his identification and then began shouting and acting aggressively.

Authorities say three off-duty officers were needed to subdue Peterson, who then spent the night in jail and was released the next morning on a $1,000 bond.

The delay in the hearing date comes so prosecutors can speak to more witnesses, but a Harris County District Attorney spokesperson called the move "routine."

Peterson tore his anterior cruciate ligament on December 24 of last year, and he has been working toward a return to game action this season.

The 27-year-old running back has played five seasons with Minnesota, totaling 6,752 yards and 64 touchdowns in that time. The Vikings signed him to a seven-year, $96 million contract in 2011.
